Why it’s in the log
Hotel Los Amantes is named after a well-known Oaxacan mezcal brand and leans into the association — the hotel and its namesake spirit share the same idea of Oaxacan craft done with care. The rooms are curated individually with local art rather than run off a single template, so the hotel reads more like a small gallery with beds in it than a standard boutique stay.
It sits in Centro within easy walking distance of the Zócalo and Santo Domingo, close enough to skip taxis for most of a day out. The style is more design-forward than luxury-polished, which suits people who want character over uniformity.
Book a room with a courtyard or rooftop view if you can — that's where the building's age and restoration show best.
“It feels more like staying inside a small gallery than a hotel — every room has its own art rather than matching decor.”
